Minnesota's tallest bridge opened overnight, and this morning we took our first drive across. I had my wife video the drive starting from where the route change begins heading south out of Virginia, MN.

That's about 2 hours from our home in Duluth, so we decided to stay at a campground nearby and chose the HooDoo Point Campground. We had driven through it the year before and liked the sites right on the lake. After staying there for a weekend, here’s what we thought.

The story follows a teenager, played by Max Records, who has homicidal tendencies and an obsession with death. While he tries to suppress his own feelings, things get complicated when an actual murderer starts killing people in his small town.

There were two holidays that really got you excited as a kid. One was obviously Christmas, and the next was Independence Day. I thought that everywhere celebrated The 4th of July like we did. It wasn't until I grew up and moved away that I realized it wasn't as big of a deal in other places.

Laskiainen (lus-key-eye-nen) is a Finnish celebration of the changing seasons. Locally, there is a celebration every year in Palo, and this was actually our first time going. We were excited to try out the sliding hill! When we go there, it was a little more intense than we imagined.

It's a Finnish tradition of celebrating the coming of spring and preparing for the upcoming season. There's arts, crafts, music, food, and most importantly a sliding hill. Cathy's had some problems in the past pronouncing these Northern Minnesotan festivals, (who can blame her) so I wanted to see how she would do with this one.

It actually has been referred to as Funeral Spread before as well. Not because it kills you, but because odds are if you were at a funeral on the Iron Range, the church ladies would usually make this.

The carrot that comes from the ground in Lakewood Township trumps the one that spent two weeks on a train coming from Argentina. Add in the fact that there are (usually) less preservatives and the question about whether or not to serve locally is moot.

This morning during our "Are you smarter than Cathy" trivia game, I asked her how far down the mine shaft went. The answer was 2,341 feet, which is about 2,160 feet more than she thought. (She had no idea.)

State Patrol cars came down the highway and were actually driving in the opposite lane, forcing the traffic off the road completely. Then, the semi trailers appeared driving side by side, on the back was a large piece of mining equipment straddling both trailers.

These craters left in the earth by mining companies filled up with clear ground water. They are almost a crystal-blue to greenish water that is just beautiful, in my opinion. Thanks to a GoPro and some scuba divers, we get to see what lies underneath.
